To Where I Must Return
Tristan Robert Lange said:
So profoundly beautiful my dear friend. Indeed, she\'s strong and you are showing her how strong you are as well. Letting go and moving on is, perhaps, the hardest thing we can ever do...the hardest act that true love, eventually, calls us all to make (those of us fortunate enough to have that). My dear Melvin, I am crying as I write these words, because I know such love and cannot imagine the immense abyss you have had, and still continue to have to cross my friend. This poem is a foot down on something other than the all-consuming void that loss leaves in us. A most profoundly powerful and heartfelt write! 🌹👏

These wonderful lines are a return journey from the darkest darkest place into one which offers a glimmer of light and hope while grief is still present. Final three lines are incredibly touching. Wishing you peace Melvin.

Profoundly beautiful, tells the story of two soulmates one lost and the other after much mourning and grieving has finally found the peace back in his heart to move onto the next tomorrow. 🌹 My heart is aching reading this, as I know what your beloved wife meant and still means to you dear Melvin. Courage to accept and move forward simply never comes to all those who have lost a soulmate, you are one of a few. Total respect and wishes for the new year my dear friend. 🌹

What Is This I See?
Cassie58 said:
will it float my soul to heaven
or dare me grieve as satan stares me down?
What a contrast here. I felt a soul in distress. There is pain. There are thorns and there is much darkness here.
Dear Melvin, wishing you softer and kinder dreams and light to shine your pathway ahead 🌹
Wonderful poetry, so deep.

I feel a soul that simply cannot rest, and it\'s yours, I see on the right side of your bed that true love, both of you stuck in limbo from two sides of this. I find this incredibly romantic and also excruciating because I feel that pain that you would do anything to be with her, it\'s Christmas it\'s hard. You are loved my dear Melvin, you are always loved. 🌹

I read this as being plagued by a recurring nightmare at times offering a little hope to escape it, but then that hope quickly fading and back to the nightmare. I am probably wrong as it`s intended meaning, but have really enjoyed reading it as it has made think, thank you

I feel in your words the clash of emotions that bombard us continuously. Can we ever trust what we see? Enigmatic at best, self fullfilling at worst. You stir the pot of self doubt with a dolop of hope to create this delectable dish. Kudos!

A seasonal feel to this poem dark and a bit angry it shows disdane and cynacism. Some really good lines of incompatable images that create tension. Lovely

Poetry from the soul of a true poet, I can\'t choose a favourite line each line pulls the reader into a state of extraordinary imagery I feel the palpitations of a soul trying to burst through the gates of darkness into the spirit of the season, so very clever indeed dearest Melvin. 🌹 Exquisite poetry as always.

Wow! I just love the dark imagery in your poems Melvin. For instance, \"speaking German in a gas mask\", immediately draws up images of the holocaust and \"we dead are sound asleep\". That and the stream-of-consciousness style makes this, dear friend, a poem that invites and rewards multiple reads. Well done! 🌹👏

Well penned, Melvin. There\'s urgency in your words...especially at the end...and my fears are right where yours are my friend. I know we are seeing things very much through the same lens. That said...magnificent poem, my friend. Seriously...magnificent! 🌹👏

festive be thy name now kingdoms come
Dear Melvin, this poem fills me with foreboding about the future
make light of what you will
It speaks to me of darkness. The final two lines fill me with apprehension. The days we live in are troubling.
Always look for that glint of light, never give up on hope. That is how I read you.
